i think i'm going to do away with the 5 point spread in the second half. as it is now if someone gets a 5 point lead in the first half, then that's fine. it can stand as him being the winner. but it will be a problem in the second half because i'd have to wait for all games to finish before moving ahead. so to be clear, once/if we start the second half, there will be no early end to it. all games will play out and lowest score will be the winner.

but a five point lead before going to the second half will still count as winning the whole tourney.

i sent two invites which he didn't join. those games will count as a win for his opponents. i'll send him a new set next round and if he fails to join, he will be removed from the tourney, and his spot will just be reserved for wins for his opponents.
